My Full Review.

Finally! The Sherlock Holmes of the 21st century. Fact is Sherlock Holmes was being forgotten about by the rising generation. My 9 year old sister did not know who Sherlock Holmes was until she watched part of the 2009 movie with us; most of her friends still don’t know anything about him.

The movie was a hit with almost everyone but Sherlock’s most loyal being happy with the movie. So why didn’t these Sherlock die-hard fans like the movie? Honestly, I do not know. This movie has made Sherlock Holmes accessible to all generations. The worst thing for a character is to die with their original fans. One of the problems they are having with this movie is the ruffed-up, fighting, shirtless Sherlock. But, in all reality part of that is just the change in what we look for in a movie, and I am sure part of it was to not just reach an all male audience. He is much more manly in this movie then any of his other portrayals. They portrayed Sherlock as smart and quick witted as ever, and were true to his character. The fact is this movie is gaining the younger generations attention and pulling them back into the original Sherlock Holmes novels, and stories.

Sherlock Holmes was very much so intense in this movie. He can not function without solving a crime, he goes a bit crazy. This movie meshed together two worlds- A Victorian world with what us Americans could interesting. There is humor, there is some (little) romance, there is action, there is fighting, there is explosions. They have reached a large range of audience with this movie.
